explain how the following items can be considered as being sold to an end-user or sold to another business.

for example: a truck can be sold to an individual, or it can be sold to a construction company.

Consumer example = Best Buy sells a TV to you or me.

Business-to-business example = A wholesaler sells a lot of TVs to Best Buy.

Why would a special situation need to be cited in order for those goods to be both though? It's fairly obvious that they all can be sold to either consumers or businesses.

to learn the difference between consumer and b2b goods, which apparently the OP does not want to do

Just write down "reality".

 

[compnovice]

e.g: A pimp getting it on with his ho on a desk. To make it kinky they use tomatoes, flour and wood! (I will leave it to you imagination). You know what the cleaning supplies are for.

Since Pimp Inc and Ho LLC are businesses this is a b2b transaction. However, Pimp Inc here acted as a consumer than a business. Why you ask? because he got screwed.

Logic says it has to be a consumer transaction. That is all!

Imagine a situation in which a tomato could be sold directly to the end-user from the farm in which it was grown. This is the tomato as a consumer good.

Now imagine a situation in which a tomato could be sold to another company (such as the company that makes Chef Boyardee products) for processing and resale to the end-user. This is the tomato as a business-to-business good.

The tomato can also be sold to a distributor (such as a grocery store) and then to the end-user. In this situation the tomato is a business to business good in the first sale, and a consumer good in the second.
